Rays Trade Target: RHP Joe Musgrove
Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports After the Tampa Bay Rays traded their former American League Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell they have been looking for an experienced pitcher to help cover innings in the near term.
For mine and most Rays fans I imagine they would feel more comfortable entering the season with a pitcher expected to join Tyler Glasnow and Ryan Yarbrough at the top of the rotation. One pitcher that should be looked at is Joe Musgrove of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Joe Musgrove was the major piece the Pirates received in the Gerrit Cole trade. In the three seasons since moving to the Pirates he has thrown 325.1 innings with a 4.23 ERA/3.69 FIP/4.03 xFIP.
